Lovely. As though we don't get inundated enough. And they don't give a hoot when they call...middle of dinner, middle of trying to put a child to bed, middle of an important call, etc. And the political class and all their operatives can't quite figure out why we hold ALL OF THEM in such disdain.

Finally, a bill that actually deserves to be fast tracked throughy our legislature. Finally, a bill that is supported by just about every voter in our State. Only took three tries over multiple years to finally get a chance to pass. A chance to pass, not done yet Madison. Pass this bill now!

This bill would improve the quality of life for all WI residents without costing much. These calls are a continual nuisance and come many times a day during the campaign season. Most people just hang up on them, and I would defy anyone to show proof that they have changed a voter's mind (except in the negative towards the candidate or cause being pushed.) Robocalls are a complete and utter waste of campaign dollars IMO.

Seems that they have used the "tools", cut pay, cut benefits, cut bus routes, cut positions and now are looking at closing schools. Seems the Republican formula for school funding doesn't work so well in all areas.

That being said, this is a good bill. I could also go for eliminating the front license plate. Also, currently you do not need a title to scrap a vehicle in Wisconsin. Someone could steal your ride and take it to the boneyard for quick cash.

Hi Ebbie, The Journal Sentinel published a long story on the scrapping of vehicles without titles and the circumstances of that almost three years ago. Here's a link: http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/122087433.html

In our house, we will be setting up a recording device to note call numbers and record any political robocalls. And, if this bill comes to pass, we will be pursuing legal action to collect large penalties from those dark money sources who continue to use robocalls illegally.

good luck with that. you can buy a device for your phone that says you are calling from a number you are not. impossible to stop it. they cant stop this either. people are too easilly fooled and get their hopes up too high for nothing.
